Guy Ritchie managed to breathe life into Sherlock Holmes with his fun, fast paced spin on the classic character. He also brought back The Man from U.N.C.L.E., with a fun, stylish take on a forgotten spy series from the 60's. My hope is Ritchie can do something similar for the King Arthur story, especially considering this is the first of a 6 film series. However, the first wave of reviews aren't looking very good. It's still early, but it's sitting at 14% on Rotten Tomatoes.

You might know him as one of the most read German writers of all time, or you might just know him as the guy Wes Anderson credits as the inspiration for The Grand Budapest Hotel. Either way this biographical drama follows the Jewish intellectual as he searches for a home in the new world while struggling to find the right stance on the events taking place in Nazi Germany.

Psychologist Tom Seymour jumps into a river to save a young man from suicide, not realizing its the very same young man he sent to prison years earlier. Now he worries for the safety of his wife as the young man continues to involve himself in their lives with unknown intentions.

This character study follows Jesse, a young man who witnesses the violent murder of one of his friends.
